OUR NEW SCHOOL ST. CHRISTOPHER’S PRIMARY SCHOOL, TO OPEN IN 2019-20

Unfortunately , due to circumstances outside our control, the building project stopped in July 2017. The Department of Education and Skills and the Design Team are working hard to engage a new builder and hope to complete St. Christopher’s Primary School as quickly as possible. We hope to take up residence there in September 2019!

We have been actively fundraising for a Library/IT hub, school garden, community kitchen, playground soft surface, playground equipment and many other items for our new school. We have had many very successful events to date, a concert in St. Mary’s Church, Ladies Mini Marathon,cake sales, non uniform days, a corporate lunch in The Dylan Hotel, a Christmas Fair, a bag pack in Tesco and many more! We are always looking for ideas and support for our campaign. All monies raised for the new school are in a joint Fundraising Account and will be used only to purchase the items on our “Wish List”!

Please see details below re Booking.com as a fundraiser for us!
